Me and Won @ the iistix party back in August
WHEW! I can now move on with my life. The GRE is now OVER!

I took the GRE yesterday. After months of anxiety and dread I feel like I can live again. All this time I felt as though my life was on hold, especially the last 3 weeks or so. Its a bit hard to explain but if you knew how much I wanted to get into Cal you would understand. Yes, you heard me right, I really want to get in now. The realization has hit me that I do not want to leave California/the Bay area until I finish what I came here to do. I'm finally feeling settled and rooted, and for me to pack up and go back home would just be too much. It would feel like failure. Of course, it still remains to be seen if I even get accepted into the school, but if I do I know what my plan will be. I want to stay, I want to live on my own away from family for a while, I want to be Tammy's roommate again, I want to incur a ridiculous debt, and I want to go to school here!

I know Grant means a big deal to me, but if it was really meant to be we'll last. I have no worries anymore. I will live my life the way I want to. If I'm bound to be disappointed in my occupation (so says the horoscope) I'm at least going to make sure I succeed in gaining the schooling I've always wanted.

(How's that for geeky?)

Anyway, back to the GRE...I did ok. My verbal score is a bit lower than I'd like, but I hope my other two scores balance it out. I mean..it should. The night before I tried practicing the verbal section one last time...and boy did I do really badly on that one. I think it was because I just started guessing and didn't take time to think about certain things. I actually started doing that on the real thing yesterday near the end which is why I think I scored lower, but why worry about it now? Its over and that's all that matters. Only one more test to go (the CBEST - I think its a little more dinky than the GRE) and then my application and that's it. We'll see.

After finishing the test I thought I would have to BART it back home from downtown Oakland, but Dave suggested we get together and go see a movie. He was nice enough to pick me up and we saw Meet the Parents. We had dinner first, but that was a bit of a challenge. Every place we tried had at least a 30 minute wait, but the movie started in an hour. We finally ended up eating at Tony Roma's and even that proved a little difficult. Let's just say that rather than putting it on his burger, Dave had other plans for the ketchup. haha Who knew ketchup could fly? lol And I totally understand what Tammy means by bumblebee. I didn't think Dave would be like that but he's totally nice and if you ever get a chance...meet him! =) (How was that Dave? hehe jk!) Anyway, the movie was really funny and it was the perfect way to celebrate the end of such a torturous week/month. Thanks for everything Dave!!

So now that I have my life back, I have so much catching up to do. I have to clean my room for one... Paul, as much as I'd love to be your comrade in slobiness, this just isn't going to cut it anymore. Sorry. ;P Then I have to do laundry and iron (I have no more clothes to wear to work). I'm hoping to start reading on the BART sometime soon. I've wanted to do that a while back, but I made myself wait until the GRE was over. I mean, I was supposed to study vocab words on the way to work and back. haha So yeah...if you have any suggestions for what to read, just let me know. I think I'm going to start with The Joy Luck Club, only because its my favorite movie and I've heard the book is much better. We shall see.

Gosh, it almost seems too good to be true. I can actually have fun now. haha Only 11 more days till I go home and see my sweetie too! yeehee! Tis a good life. =) Hope everyone had a great weekend and has a good Monday too. Jya ne baibai!

<3 always,
mars
